Li Mu is worthy of being a far-sighted strategist. Sure enough, it is a person who can be qualified to be among the five tiger generals of the empire in the future. He comprehended Chu Jiangmian's true intentions at the first time. At this moment, when he said it from his mouth to his subordinates, he couldn't help but feel sincere admiration.

Looking at today, not counting the small princes, there are a total of twelve big princes with a certain strength and influence. It can be said unceremoniously that Zhou Tianzi's orders have no effect on them. The reason why the princes' annual offerings are still sent to Los Angeles is just to achieve their various goals in the name of the Son of Heaven.

The Great Zhou royal family survived in such a crack. Like an island in a river, it doesn't necessarily swallow it up when a wave hits from any direction. The humiliation suffered over the years is not without experience. Just like the one ten years ago, the people of Qin took the opportunity to attack, and the army came to the city, if it wasn't for the Zhao King Chulie trying his best to break the siege, I'm afraid that this time would have really perished.

And when ten years later, when Chu Lie is dead and King Qin's ambitions begin to be revealed again, who will be able to continue the fate of the Great Zhou royal family? When King Qin of Heaven ordered to ask for help from the soldiers, none of the princes in the world could respond, which was enough to explain the problem.

The tragic situation that the Great Zhou royal family is about to face undoubtedly makes many people of insight in the world feel sad at the same time, but also have deep pity. No matter how unbearable this aging and decaying dynasty may be, many of their ancestors or fathers, and even more distant ancestors, have served for it. Some deep feelings in the heart are not so easy to extinguish.

It would be extremely frustrating if the last vestiges of the royal family were to be cut off in the hands of the youngsters. Not only many people in the world will feel this way. Even Li Mu, the general who was most loyal to the Zhao State, was also concerned!

It was precisely because of the existence of this feeling that when Li Mu received a handwritten letter from Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao, and learned that he had personally led his troops to King Qinwang of Los Angeles, the respect for this young man in his heart was immediately raised to an unparalleled height.

The world is turbulent, dozens of princes, Chen soldiers are divided, and they all proudly call themselves heroes. But people who are really qualified to be called this title never dare to wear this laurel wreath on their heads easily. Because this is not only a noble honor, but also a heavy responsibility. Only those who truly have the world in mind are worthy of being called heroes!

And now, in the hearts of Li Mu and many other people, they only admit that two people are worthy of such a title. There is Chu Lie in the front, and his son Chu Jiangmian in the back!

"King, when you are generous to Zhongzhou Day, it will be when my Zhao army breaks Hu Qi! …… Soldiers, you can fight to the death with me and live up to your life! ”

All the generals of Zhao Guo shouted in unison "No"! Their eyes sparkled in the darkness, and their arms pounded against the hard armor. Everyone felt empowered. Even if it's not for anything else, just for that one person, they should fight to the death, fight for him!

The long night was long and gradually subsided. On this night, many brave people stayed up all night and were ready to prepare for the battle. Hot blood surged in his chest, and the mist and cold could not hide the edge of the sword armor. They waited for the battle, preparing for the arrival of that iron-blooded battle.

Autumn in the north is a foggy season. The haze that began to rise in the second half of the night became thicker and thicker, and by the morning, it had already covered the whole world. In the most serious places, you can't even see the road clearly outside of Zhangyu. Li Mu, who had been observing the weather conditions, was overjoyed in his heart. What a godsend! Does God even have to help?

A general who does not understand the sky and the geography is definitely not a good general. Li Mu, who is familiar with military books, has five points in his heart after choosing this terrain that is conducive to blocking. And now that he sees the fog falling from the sky, and the time helps him, his chances of winning are three points more!

Before dawn, the Zhao army, which was stationed in two directions, was mobilized. From this moment on, they will set foot on the battlefield. Engage in an existential battle against the most formidable northern enemy in decades.

Thirty miles away was the place where the Hu army was temporarily stationed. They did not foresee the coming crisis. When the day was light, some of the guys in charge of the food started a fire and began to steam the beef and mutton. And most of the rest of the cavalry is still waking up and not waking up.

The rapid march for several days in a row was still very hard. Although the Hu cavalry is basically one person and two horses, the speed of travel is extremely fast. But horses can change power, and people can't stand such fatigue after all. Although they did not plunder much along the way, they did have a lot of cattle and sheep. Eat meat in large pieces and drink soup in large bowls. It is just right to replenish the physical strength of these grassland men to prepare for the next decisive battle with the Zhao army.

In the eyes of most Hu cavalry, Zhao's army was the strongest opponent they had ever faced. But they are not afraid. Although over the years, I have suffered many losses at the hands of the other party. But in the hearts of these newly grown strong men, they always want to thwart the spirit of these Zhao people to repay the hatred in front of them.

And there's the best opportunity in front of you. Their outpost had already figured out that the Zhao army that was blocking the direction of advance had only a small part of the cavalry, and the rest were all foot soldiers. With such a balance of power, taking the initiative to send it to the door is simply self-defeating.

Hu Cavalry General Ye Luxiong slept late last night. He wasn't worried about the battle with the Zhao army. The previous encounter, although unprepared, suffered a little loss. But the loss of hundreds of casualties, he will not pay attention to it at all. As a man on the grassland, how can he be afraid of death? The harsh living environment, the beast attack that may be attacked at any time, and various diseases, which can take their lives at any time in the process of growing up. Warriors who grow up in such situations are accustomed to being injured or killed.

There were several old wounds on his body. These wounds are caused by fighting with wolves and fighting on the battlefield. But these wounds did not make him afraid of life and death, but more fierce and brave.

The cavalry under his command this time totaled nearly 40,000 people. And there were more than 20,000 people who followed him all the way here. The others were sent out by him to plunder the land they passed through, looting everything he could get. After autumn, winter is just around the corner. The life of the huge ethnic groups on the steppe is not easy. They had to use this means to prepare food, tents and other daily necessities for the cold winter in advance.

Zhao Guoren is also too rampant. I heard that Chu Lie, who was feared by the Hu people, was dead. But they began to expand so unscrupulously, seeing that most of the land of the Yan Kingdom fell into their hands, which was absolutely intolerable to the Hu people, who had become feuding for decades. This time, even if there were no Yan people to ask for help, the Hu people would raise troops to the south.

Yeluxiong personally killed several captured Zhao scouts last night. He had wanted to get some useful news from them. However, despite the fact that several of his horsewhips were broken, the iron-clad men remained silent, and no one spoke from beginning to end.

Later, he was so angry that he chopped off their heads one by one with a knife. Since they are all heroes, of course he wants to fulfill each other and give them the way to die as heroes. Seven or eight bloody heads hung from the trunk of a tree not far away. The carcasses were dragged out and thrown into the wild to feed the wolves. He has already issued an order that all the Zhao troops encountered on the battlefield from tomorrow onwards will be done according to his means. The steppe cavalry with superior forces, if they can't wipe out all these Zhao army foot soldiers, then they are not worthy of being called the warriors of the Yelu family!

After expressing his bold words, Yeluxiong drank a few large sips of strong wine amid the compliments of his subordinates, and then fell into a deep sleep. When he got up and had enough spirits, he wanted to take his grassland warriors to kill as much as he wanted, God blocked and killed God, and demons blocked and killed demons, and no one could stop him!

I don't know how long it was, but Jeluchon seemed to hear the sound of thunder while he was asleep. He didn't care, rolled over, and continued to snore and try to sleep again. However, the next moment, the cold wind blew on his face, and he ran in in a panic with his relatives who were full of cold air.

"General, wake up! There is an enemy attack......! ”

Jeuryo rolled over and drew his scimitar. He woke up in a flash and asked sharply.

"Where is the enemy...... Is it Zhao Jun? ”

"I don't know the specific situation yet, please prepare the general for war first!"

The entourage who had been guarding outside the tent had apparently not figured out the situation. But at this time, I can't take care of it so much. While they were scrambling to help Yeluxiong put on his armor, someone had already gone to lead the horse. I heard the drums of war thundering from all directions, but I didn't know where the enemy's attack was coming from.

And by the time Yeluchon strode out, there were already bloodied cavalrymen stumbling through the thick fog to report.

"General Jerry! The enemy attacked from the south. ”

"South...... Is Zhao Jun all dispatched? ”

"It's foggy, I can't see clearly! General, for a while, he didn't know how many Zhao troops were attacking. ”

Yeluxiong frowned. The fog in front of me was really too serious, and I couldn't see it clearly from a dozen steps away. It's extremely bad for cavalry combat! And in the moment, a succession of messengers came from all over the station.

"Report to the general! There was an enemy attack in the western direction. ”

"General Jerry! Southeast...... Crossbow arrows rained down, and our army suffered heavy casualties! ”

Yeluxiong's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. The Zhao army attacked the strong with the weak and attacked from all sides...... Are they crazy?!
